⁴⁷ But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their hearts, he took a small child and put him by his side,

² You have knowledge when I am seated and when I get up, you see my thoughts from far away.

¹ So putting away all wrongdoing, and all tricks and deceits and envies and evil talk,

² Be full of desire for the true milk of the word, as babies at their mothers' breasts, so that you may go on to salvation;

¹³ And there is nothing made which is not completely clear to him; there is nothing covered, but all things are open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

²⁰ My brothers, do not be children in mind: in evil be as little children, but in mind be of full growth.

¹⁷ He said to him a third time, Simon, son of John, am I dear to you? Now Peter was troubled in his heart because he put the question a third time, Am I dear to you? And he said to him, Lord, you have knowledge of all things; you see that you are dear to me. Jesus said to him, Then give my sheep food.

³⁰ Now we are certain that you have knowledge of all things and have no need for anyone to put questions to you: through this we have faith that you came from God.

²⁵ He had no need for any witness about man; for he himself had knowledge of what was in man.

³⁹ Now when the Pharisee in whose house he was saw it, he said to himself, This man, if he was a prophet, would be conscious what sort of woman this is who has put her hands on him, that she is a sinner.

⁴⁰ And Jesus, answering, said, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Master, say on.

²² But Jesus, who had knowledge of their thoughts, said to them, Why are you reasoning in your hearts?

¹⁴ And when Jesus saw it, he was angry, and said to them, Let the little children come to me, and do not keep them away; for of such is the kingdom of God.

¹⁵ Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.

¹³ Then some people took little children to him, so that he might put his hands on them in blessing: and the disciples said sharp words to them.

¹⁴ But Jesus said, Let the little ones come to me, and do not keep them away: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

¹⁵ And he put his hands on them, and went away.

² And he took a little child, and put him in the middle of them,

³ And said, Truly, I say to you, If you do not have a change of heart and become like little children, you will not go into the kingdom of heaven.

⁴ Whoever, then, will make himself as low as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

⁴ And Jesus, having knowledge of what was in their minds, said, Why are your thoughts evil?

¹⁰ I the Lord am the searcher of the heart, the tester of the thoughts, so that I may give to every man the reward of his ways, in keeping with the fruit of his doings.

²³ O God, let the secrets of my heart be uncovered, and let my wandering thoughts be tested:

²³ And I will put her children to death; and all the churches will see that I am he who makes search into the secret thoughts and hearts of men: and I will give to every one of you the reward of your works.
